Is it possible to mix poll types as I have a customer who has a multiple choice selection with the last option being Other and wants to be free text answer?

We use the survey fuctionality for this. Even for quick feedback outside standard questionnaires, it’s been working quite well for us.

We’d combine two polls - one being multiple choice and the other one open text. As the last option in multiple choice, we’d use ‘Other’. Then, we’d create the free text saying something like “If you selected ‘Other’, please add a comment’. That way, only participants who chose ‘other’ would put their answer for the second question. 


I’ve actually got a guide from someone on how to set it up - here you go:
